By investing in sustainable solutions, furniture manufacturers can not only protect the environment, but they can protect their most valuable resource: their employees on the factory floor. As consultants facilitating a sustainable transition in a very traditional industry, Next Century Sourcing has the opportunity to realize significant profits for ourselves and our clients as the consumer demand for sustainable furniture rises.
In the long-term, we would expect to see the following outcomes from our efforts:
Better Health: Improved health for manufacturing staff, the communities in and around manufacturing facilities, and end users.
Upskilled Workforce: Furniture apprentices & designers gain knowledge in working with cutting-edge innovation. The next generation of manufacturers would enter the workforce armed with technology and skills that will make them more marketable to future employers.
Sustainability As The Norm: Advocating for and capitalizing on material innovation ensures the industry is resilient & ready.
Better Standards: Protect your workforce and they will make great products and your business will not only attract and retain the best-skilled workers, but will also be better prepared to meet growing consumer demand for sustainable products.
